Place two pins on either side of the match with the points touching the match head.(these will serve as the engines.)

3

Gently roll the foil up around the match.

Be sure the pins don't come out.

4

Fold the extra piece of foil over the top of the match to create the head of your rocket.

5

Carefully take the pins out of the sides of the foil. You will notice 2 tunnels where the pins were.

6

Use a pair of scissors to cut off the torn end of the match.

7

Lay your match on the edge of a table or rock with the covered head slightly off the surface.

8

Hold a lighter or another match under the match head until it heats up and ignites. The match should take off like a rocket.
